tAa Et Is.

In connection with the game of Sunday
last, played al Diamond, the following
excerpt from the Hamilton Spectator of
Canada, dated July 81 last, in relation to
international rulings will of course be OF
interest. 1t may be promised for the ben
eft of the uninitiated that the Crane
mentioned is "a batter from hi to
breakfast" and by the way is a full cousin
of DR.. Herrick of Hamilton, the we'll
known discoverer of Pinto, Nevada:
"The umpire had called two strikes
and four balls. Another ball rolled
across the plate. Crane thought it was
the fifth ball and started for first. Um.
pire Hoover remarked, "Three strikes"
The crowd smiled quite audibly. Crane
was wroth. He damned the next ball into
a felder's hands and was out. Then this
conversation occurred:
Crane to Hoover-You're playing for
the grand stand"
Hoover to Crane-"I fine you five dol
lars."
Crane You're a sucker"
Hoover-"Ten."
Crane" Make il another FIVE"
Hoover" Fifteen"
Crane" You're @ chump."
Hoover-"Twenty."
Crane retired. 1t was a laconic and
costly interview.
Chow ia that for high?"

After Thirty.four Years.

Reno Journal: The sister Of the we'll
known Reno attorney, Robert Lindsay,
arrived from Belfast, Ireland. Wednesday
night. Bob left the "Green Isle " when
a small boy and this sister was a small
babe at the time of his departure. Thir-
ty-four years have passed since they parted
and the only manner by which she could
recognize her brother was by a photo.
graph Of himself he tent home about a
year ago.. When the train stopped at the
Depot Hotel Bob was on hand, and to his
great surprise. while looking anxiously at
the faces around him, e~ndeavoring to
recognize the object of his search, a ma
tronly looking lady approached him.
dropped her valise, threw her arms around
his neck. and exclaimed, "My brother,
Roberti" The response to which was
after thirty-four years Of separation, "My
sister, Annie, God bless you" The meet
ing was q happy one and nc doubt the
successful man OF to-day was CARED back
over nearly half a century of time, back
to the day he left his far.off home to seek
his fortune in the land Of the free. This
Is another romance in real life and a
pretty one.

Nevada Bank Meeting.

Sam Davis, of the Appeal. gets in this
one:
The Office boy busted off the table, and
Mr.. Mackay came in, and also Mr.. Fair
The two gentlemen sat down on opposite
sides OF the table.
Mr.. Mackay pulled q large Nevada pick
handle out from under his coat, and laid
il on the table just as Mr.. Fair pulled a
California bowie from his right bootleg
and laid it alongside.
"Well, John, what can I do for you 2"
Jim, this ia business. and black sand
business all through. We have our
weapons on the table. but they must be
within reach, and il I see any funny bust
ness, the next you know there'll be pick
handles for breakfast"
Fair to boy-Bill, go out and tell the
stockholders that this bank ia now ready
for regular business, and no wheat mar
gins go.

FISANCIAL ~KOTrENNEss.

The testimony in the Gold Hill Bank
case ought to fill every honest man with
indignation. The testimony shows that
the bank was started with a capital OF
but little over $1,000, not more than
enough money to have started a good
sized peanut stand on G street. A num-
Der of leading citizens then took stock
in the bank. but only paid ten per cent
down. The creditors of the bank, prop
erly enough, propose to make these
stockholders responsible, but they now
come into court and assert that they did
not buy the stock, but only bought
options. If they can evade payment of
the banks liabilities on this plea, the
founding of big banks with a tremendous
paper capital, will be an easy trick Of
finance in Nevada.
The above is from the Carson Appeal.
The trouble proceeds from the fact that
the State of Nevada exercises no author
ity over ,the business of banking within
it's borders. This is all wrong, as our
people have often realized from dearly
bought experience. There should be an
officer to look into them, or if not, the
law should at least require of them
sworn quarterly or semi-annual reports
of their assets and liabilities. As the
case now stands any mar or set of men
in this State, with money enough to buy
a counter and desk, may set up in the
banking business. The national bank
ing system is far preferable in this, that
the authorized capital must be fully paid
up in cash, not notes, nor I. 0. US, be-
fore the Government will permit a start
to be made. A national bank cannot
begin without money to purchase the
United States bonds which form the
basis of it's capital and circulation. A
private bank may start on a shoestring,
SO to speak. There is no comparison in
safety to the people of the two systems.
Every national bank is required to make
a monthly sworn statement of its affairs
in detail to the Government, independ.
emit of the annual visit of inspection by
the Government officer charged with
that duty. These latter examinations
are required to be especially thorough,
covering every transaction, account and
scrap of paper in the bank, with com.
plete notifications of all balances due to
and from other banks, no matter in what
part of the country located. The ex-
p%erience and financial wisdom of the
world is concentrated in the United
States National Bank Act. General
Jackson was guilty of great error in
vetoing the old bill, and our Republican
friends are entitled to all credit for en-
acting the new.

what He said in philadelphia IN
Ia Occasion of the Constitu'
tional Centennial.
81 am glad TO have ar opportunity to
meet so large q representation OF the bust
ness men Of Philadelphia. II is well that
we should not forget in the midst Of our
Jubilee that the aim and purpose oil good
governments tend, after all, TO the advance
ment of the material interests OF the peo-
pie and the increase OF their trade and
commerce.. The thought has sometimes
occurred TO me that in the hurry and rush
of business there might well be infused a
little more patriotism than we are wont to
see, and a little more recognition OF the
faith that the wholesale political sentiment
is closely related not only to the general
good but to the general success of bust
ness. OF course u citizens engaged in
business are quick to see the bearing OF
apy policy which the Government may
adopt if 10 affects their personal success
and their accumulation, but l would like
to see that broad and patriotic sentiment
among them which can see beyond their
peculiar personal interests and which can
recognize that the advancement OF the en-
tire country is an object for which they
may we'll strive.
unjust we always look for the political
opinions of our business men precisely
where they suppose their immediate Pc
cuniary advantage is to be found? l
know how vain it is to hope for the eradi-
cation of selfish motives in all the affairs
OF life, but 1 am reminded that we cele-
brate to-day the triumph OF patriotism
over selfshness. Will any one say that
concessions of the Constitution were not
we'll made, or that we are not to-day in the
full enjoyment of blessings resulting from
a due regard for all conflicting interests
represented by the different Staets which
were united a hundred years ago?
81 believe that the complete benefits
promised to the people by our form OF
government can only be secured by an
exercise OF the same spirit of federation
for each others rights and interests in
which il had its birth. This spirit will
prevail when the business men OF the
country cultivate. political thought, when
they cease to eschew par ticipation In po-
Iitical action, and when such thought and
action are guided by better motives thar
purely selfish and exclusive benefit.
"I am OF the opinion that there is no
place in theEcountry where such q condl-
ton can be so properly and successfully
maintained as here among the enlighs.

The strip of land which has received
the above title is situated along the
lines dividing the States of Texas, Col
Grade and Kansas. It embraces a piece
of territory about one hundred and thirty
miles long by twenty.eight miles wide.
In establishing some of the early lines it
was left entirely out in the cold and does
not belong to any State or Territory.
Texas claims that she is entitled to it,
and for several years she has been press
ing Congress to recognize and confirm
her right to the same. The Texans
assert that a part of the southwestern
line of their State was fixed by a natural
boundary, consisting of a river, which
in time shifted its course, cutting off the
strip we have described. 1t is not likely,
however, that the Government of the
United States will surrender all right
to it. To declare it to be a part of
Texas would be to surrender all title to
the land by the Government, for in
Texas there is no Government land, the
whole belonging to the State under
original contracts and agreements. There
never has been any Government or public
land in Texas as in the other States.
This being the case, Congress is very apt
to hold on to the disputed strip. 1t may
give Texas jurisdiction over "no mans
land" while reserving title to the land
itself, subject to the same laws govern.
ing the rest of the public domain. Or
it could be set off to Colorado or Kansas,
though it would mar the boundary of
either more than that of Texas. Some.
thing will have to be done with it at
once, as settlers have been focking in
there the present season at a rapid rate.
It is q rich region of country, the soil
being as fertile as that of any part of
the Indian Territory. There is no form
oil law whatever in emo mans land"
and no officer has any right there not en-
ioyed by any other citizen.
A gentleman connected with the Sen.
TINEL Office says it should be left
just as it is. as a sort of national bull
pen, where prize fighters and duelists
might go to determine their disputes
with impunity. When people got to
spelling for any sort of unlawful thing
all they would have to do would be to
step over into "no mans land" where
there would be none to modest or make
them afraid. 1t would also become a
favorite resort for ~defaulting bank Presi-
dents and the like. But the settlers
pouring in there will soon settle all of
this fun by compelling annexation to
one of the adjoining States, pos
sibly at the coming session of Congress.

OUk CLIMATE.
what O California Paper has to Say
About H..

About IG.
The California Export Journal gives on
Nevada climate and soil the annexed good
lift: II Is only recently, that the popu-
lation Of the Eastern States have come to
the conclusion that the climate on the Pa
cidc Coast ia more favorable to health and
physical comfort than their own and they
are right. The climate of California and
of Nevada is preferable TO that of the
Southern States or even Italy.
To see the fruits and vegetables unload
daily on Davis and Washington streets
will convince the most skeptical that il is
an unusual soil, and an unusual climate
that will produce such unsurpassed fruits
and vegetables. To notice the animals
shipped from the State of Nevada will
testify TO a condition of growth and vigor
unsurpassed, we may say, in any part OF
the world.
Everybody knows about land in Cali
fornia; but little is known about the lands
in Nevada.
Nevada possesses advantages In some
respects which are superior to California
lands. Nevada has many lakes, and many
mountain streams which are evidently
duhpbcu lOL IllSutAb6 AZ phSOUA 0Sh Auhoo
lying underneath, and it only requires a
small outlay of coin, and some organized
system Of irrigation to make her sagebrush
deserts TEEN with life and population.
We are informed that the celebrated
actress Madsm Laugtry bought some land
near Carson, and no wonder. The air is
refreshing, the climate tends to vigor, and
great endurance.
In no place there are SO many cente-
n~arians as among the native Indians OF
that State, or the old Spanish settlers OF
California.
The advantages Of the climate in those
two States are dryness of the atmosphere.
the GOODNESS of the nights, and the mildness
of the temperature.
Moisture combined with the heat causes
fever. Over half of the children, who
die East during the months of June, July
and Augut, called the heated term, might
be saved by sending them to San Francisco,
California or Carson City, Nevada, where
the air IL bracing and invigorating at q tim
when our Eastern friends are Frustrated
with heat.
California is commencing to be appre'
ciated; we predict q near future when Ne
vada will be properly appreciated too, and
when her valleys will be travesed by
population looking for permanent homes.
